"Flora is one of those rare talents that truly understand how to phrase lyrics and melody. Simply put, she can swing and she can sing!" - George Duke

Flora Purim's voice, as seductive and playful as ever, lends that special Brazilian flair to tunes by Cole Porter, George & Ira Gershwin, Wayne Shorter, and others, backed by a wicked percussion section leady by the legendary Airto Moreira.

~

For those who know jazz and Latin music, Flora Purim needs little introduction. Her astonishing voice has woven itself into the fabric of 3 decades of music and she has become one of its brightest luminaries.

Flora's once-in-a-generation six octave voice has earned her two Grammy nominations for Best Female Jazz Performance and Downbeat magazine's Best Female Singer accolade on four occasions. Her musical partners have included Gil Evans, Stan Getz, Chick Corea, Dizzy Gillespie, and Airto Moreira, with whom she has collaborated on over 30 albums since moving with him from her native Rio to New York in 1967. 

Triumphant and subtle, SPEAK NO EVIL shows one of jazz's leading ladies in full form with an unmistakable vitality on a song list that leans to the winds of traditional jazz, while celebrating her Brazilian roots.
